A man in the woods.
I'm a PhD student in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a research assistant in the Security & Privacy Research Group, advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel. My research interests are in network and systems security. In current work, I'm exploring how trusted computing primitives can be leveraged to architect and build secure data storage systems.
